Jessica

A couple of weeks before I left for the Amy Wenzel workshop I received an email explaining specifics of what we needed to bring. The very first thing on the list: Your camera and favorite lenses (preferably a fast lens that opens to 1.8--at least)!

Oh my. I did not have/own a lens that opened to a 1.8. I have my 50 1.4...but that was it. What was I to do? I elected to purchase the Nikon 85mm 1.4. (Believe me, it was not easy as the last sentence sounded.)

I received the lens a couple of days before the workshop. I needed to practice.

While getting a pedicure, in walks one of my senior clients from last year. She {Jessica} sits down beside me. At the end of the pedicure, I had the perfect model.

Jessica, you are fantastic, beautiful & so sweet. Thank you! I owe you.




























The 85 has taken time to get used to. A fixed lens sure makes you work. But when you get that perfect shot....it is dreamy!

Update (3 months later...the 85 1.4 is my favorite lens. Great fast/low light lens!)
